Sure, there is obvious stuff, but might that be a slippery slope?
If we use what is accepted by society as acceptable or not, as a yardstick to measure offensiveness, then at one point would a post about people of different races drinking out of the same water fountain have been banned? What about a post about people of the same gender having sexual relations? These are overly-dramatic examples, but, if you see what I mean, isn't offensiveness, at some point, relative, and where do you draw the line? It's a tightrope walk.
